A ladder season with zero bots would be very interesting.

Impossible to have 0 bots
Never ever has been in d2 and pretty much every online games have bots nowadays..

BUT banning every public bots would do a big difference

What are some bad things about public bots? Do they ruin the game in any direct way?

Quote (Auger @ May 2 2016 03:08pm)

By public I mean free bots that anyone can get easily

They don't ruin the game as much as dupes, but yes they do ruin the ladder competitive aspect and fucks up the economy(again, dupes are much worse)

Say what. You mean someone could just google for a public D2 bot!? Yikes.

Sorry for the lack of knowledge on this. I am a really old D2 player who will be returning upon ladder reset.

you don't even need google, bots usually spam their name at the end of each of their runs..
